I Decided to buy this book because I have started to do a lot of pub quizzes and was looking for something to improve my general knowledge. The thing i like about this book is that all the facts are nicely spaced out on the pages which makes for a really fun and easy read. I would highly recommend it, and i look forward to purchasing other books in the same series.

Brilliant fun fact books great for children, teenagers and adults alike. These are great for home quizzes which is what we use them for and just for picking up if you have a few minutes spare. It's a great pick up, put down book. Great price and good for teenagers stocking fillers.

The facts (if you can call them that) that you'll find in this book, will either blow yours socks off or make you question the accuracy of the facts in the first place. It ties in very well with the theme and purpose of the QI TV show in the way that it actually makes you question everything you know (or thought you knew) to be true.

So in short, if enjoy having your beliefs challenged on a variety of different levels then you will love it. If however your beliefs do not like to be tested to their limits, I would leave this book well alone.

This book brought me lots of both useless and interesting facts. Such as "In 2010, the BBC spent nearly £230,000 on tea, but only £2,000 on biscuits." When I'll need these facts I don't know but now I have them.

Fantastic. Some highly amusing facts, some things you just didn't know. A list at the back of the book tells you where you can find out more. I write a couple on my board at school each day - the kids are always asking about them. Nice to be able to teach them something that's not related to the curriculum - and even better to be getting them thinking :)

It's definitely a book of facts all right, though it falls rather short of blowing my socks off. For starters, loads of the 'facts' are actually just the definitions of obscure or obsolete words. Not a bad book, especially if you get it cheap, and it'll fill an hour if you're time.
